So I have this mathematical problem:
Database has 7,210 records.
Each record is 76 bytes in length (75 data plus 1 delete flag)
# records times record length is 547,960 bytes.
DIR the file (from the O/S) and get a length of 541,040, and that
doesn't take the header into count.
Whatsup?
One possibility is a corrupt table.
Another is that the rows are actually 75 bytes including the
delete flag. The math works then. Off-by-one errors are so easy to make.
